It was a mistake. I am very lucky to have not torn up the car - I basically did a 180 and then continued spinning backwards as I slid into thick muddy soil which effectively slowed me down with no damage.
+1 on the m5 is a beast, at the perf driving school in South Carolina I almost went off the track in a bad area with the M5 in MDM mode. Instructor stopped the whole session and brought us in for a talk. Embarrassing for me but you definitely learn to be easy on the pedals! That being said e92 was much easier to handle , most likely due to weight
I did better than you, I did spin out with the M5 right after the corkscrew in our 20 minute full track time at the performance school...have it recorded on my . Those turbo cars need to be driven differently, that's for sure.
